Alright, the situation is: GMP is LGPL and readline is GPL. IIRC the php
license is considered GPL-incompatible, so a php5-readline would require
an explicit exception from the readline copyright holder for this
purpose.  I'm not entirely clear on whether something similar is
required for php5-gmp. Perhaps someone else can shed some light upon
this?

I could be wrong (I haven't examined the situation), but I have a hunch
that this could be on purpose and due to PHP License + GPL licensing
issues. I'll look at it a bit later (today or tomorrow).

[Bug 93603] List of what's available and what's missing. [need "readline" and "gmp"]

2007-08-28 Thread RichardNeill
This is quite easy to do; here are the results.

1)On Gutsy (latest update), the list of extensions that can be installed 
separately may be obtained by doing: 
   apt-get install php5-[TAB]

php5-imagick   php5-librdf  php5-memcachephp5-odbc  
 php5-snmp
php5-sybasephp5-xcache   php5-auth-pam  php5-curl   
  php5-imap
php5-mapscriptphp5-mhash   php5-pgsqlphp5-sqlite
  php5-syck 
php5-xmlrpcphp5-devphp5-interbase  php5-maxdb   
 php5-ming
php5-ps  php5-sqlite3php5-tidy  
php5-xsl  php5-clamavlib
php5-gd php5-json php5-mcal
php5-mysql php5-pspell
php5-sqlrelay php5-uuid php5-idn  php5-ldap 
   php5-mcrypt  
php5-mysqli  php5-recode  php5-suhosin php5-xapian

(I've removed php5-cli and other things which aren't "extensions" from
the above).


2)The list of modules built in the main package + installed modules can be 
obtained by doing "php -m"

Thus, I see the following modules which are part of the main package
(I've removed the dups which are installed manually).

bcmath bz2 calendarctype   date  dba
dom  exif
filter ftp   gettext hashiconv json 
  libxmlmbstring
mime_magic mysqli ncursesopenssl pcntl pcre   PDO   
   pdo_mysql
pdo_pgsql posix  Reflection session shmop   SimpleXML  soap
sockets
SPL  standard  sysvmsg  sysvsemsysvshm  tokenizer   wddx  
xml
xmlreaderxmlwriter  zip  zlib


3)The list of available extensions is here:   
http://www.php.net/manual/en/extensions.php
I've trimmed it down to the following (by removing the windows-specific ones, 
and the ones already listed above, and anything that is PECL)

bcompiler
SessionPgSQL

dbx  SDO-DAS-Relational dBase  DB++  FrontBase  filePro 
  ibm_db2  Informix  Ingres II   mSQL
OCI8OracleOvrimosSQLParadox Firebird/Interbase (PDO)   IBM 
(PDO) Informix (PDO) Oracle (PDO)   ODBC and DB2 (PDO)SQLite 
(PDO)   

GMP 
SCA  SDO   SDO DAS XML
kadm5
ssh2 
phar  
FDF
Readline


4)The obviously useful, yet missing ones (i.e. the ones that, I think we need 
to add) are:   gmp and readline


SUMMARY:   most of the important stuff is now included in Gutsy. However, gmp 
and readline have been overlooked.  
There are also a lot of PECL things, which are probably beyond the scope of 
this bug.
